Introduction

Hi! My name is Tim Marco, I’m a guitar and ukulele teacher looking for motivated students. Lessons are in person at Seeds of Music in Pleasanton CA on Mondays. I studied guitar performance and music theory at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London and have been teaching/playing professionally for over 15 years. I really love to show students tricks and techniques that help them sound their best. I teach all ages, skill levels and most styles of music. Besides showing my students new songs/scales/techniques i also believe in giving them the tools to continue learning on their own. This is vital in todays world where you can find many guitar lessons on youtube but almost no guidance or direction which is required to apply the skills and make progress. For more intermediate/advanced students I specialize in Rock, R&B, Funk, Blues, neo-soul and Jazz so we can really dive into those styles. I make sure that my lessons are fun and informative that hopefully bring a new energy to your music! Rates: 30 min lesson - $50

Tim has been an incredible guitar teacher. He is very patient and takes the time to answer all of my questions and work slowly with me as I’m new to guitar. After just a few lessons I’m already learning a couple of songs and have gained such a love for playing. He’s very talented and a wonderful person to learn from!

Tim does a fantastic job. He works to understand the biggest needs of his students and how to best get them from where they are to where they want to be as guitar players. He gives me plenty to work on throughout the week. All exercises keeps the process fun and productive. My playing has already noticeably improved after just 3 lessons. Highly recommended.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Rates: 30 min - $35 45 min - $40 60min - $45
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I typically start by assessing the students knowledge of chords, songs and scales. I then tailor my lessons to adapt to their skill level and try to give them the next couple steps forward whether that be technique, a new song, a new chord or scale.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied guitar performance/theory at the ICMP (Institute of Contemporary Music Performance) in London. I was awarded a full ride scholarship to study.
